“Seventeen days? Hey, man . . . we’re not gonna last seventeen ROUNDS! Not in THIS game!”

For Halloween this year, we’re trying a modified variant of our “Sitrep Skirmish” system – recreating the “Colonial Marine” squad of 1986 “Aliens” fame and dropping them into the bowels of the “Hadley’s Hope” colony on the exomoon of LV-426. This is a game that’s been promised to members of our community since LAST Halloween, especially our guest, Martin of “The Hobby Lodge” YouTube channel.

Despite its obvious sci-fi setting, this movie and the “military” it presents poses several important topics for near-future military operations, including information overload on command, the importance of “up front” military leadership, asymmetric warfare against an “inferior” opponent on his own ground, and the dangers of not knowing the true nature of your enemy.

So we have a few players lined up for this one! Come by and see how many of them wind up as xenomorph chow!

Thanks!

Well, now that the proverbial cat is out of the bag in today's community live game ... Colonial Marine virtual figures I have drawn, to be used in today's game.
